  1. I've had an eye on HTC for a while now since I don't really care about camera quality, which was supposedly their weakness. Reviews are spilling out on the M9 now saying the battery is somehow worse than the M8? I don't even understand how that's possible, considering they up'd the battery size and kept the screen the same. I try not to get the same phone as everyone else but may have to cave to the new Samsung, which looks pretty sweet.
  2. I wasn't in that thread either. Mainly because I don't see the point of the sanctimonious announcement that I'm against child molestation. I mean I'd like to think that goes without saying. But regardless, how desperate are you to create a false equivalency? We're talking about the NCAA investigation and you chime in with the completely unrelated "But....Bernie Fine....hypocrites!" - WTF? The Kardashians are less of an attention whore.
  3. The rule says it has to have a chance of going in. That had zero chance.
  4. Kentucky's region is a breeze. I also have Wichita as their toughest game. Zona-Wiscy should be the only region where chalk holds. AZ is a wise pick to win it all in larger pools. I have 5 vs 2 finals in the other regions. Almost positive Sparty lost to Texas in regional finals Carmelo year they were a 6 or 7 seed.
  5. I feel the exact opposite. Benefit of the doubt that they have a plan should go to TE, even if that means they don't want one in their regular offense. Otherwise they wouldn't have dumped Chandler. With Guard I think they just screwed the pooch spending on McCoy instead.
  6. Yah I would've liked a 2yr deal but whatever. Would rather overpay a good player than Gresham or Chris Williams 2.0 or some crappy player that plays a position we happen to be bad at. Who are the mythical Guards everyone is talking about - Franklin & Boling already signed right?
  7. Stuck with two worthless jokes. They are screwed. They botched these last two weeks big time. Colossal, unmitigated disaster.
  8. He's the only guy our Wandsteadt Defense played well against, right? To be fair I don't think any of these guys are an upgrade.
  9. What, "there is still a possibility I could be in a Bills uniform" and "EJ was a little too buddy buddy" wasn't enough writing on the wall for you? We had a better shot at Beyonce' suiting up as a Jill next year.
  10. I've always thought Kiko was overrated here but now there's no doubt.
  11. Don't get me wrong I respect the old school bitterness. I stuck with Miami as long as I could but at this point if you still say that, I honestly just think you're trying too hard. I mean NE has officially been annoying for a length of time longer than the 70s. One difference is I don't think Miami was ever universally hated by football fans like NE has become in the last ~7 years. It makes me feel a little bit like Bobby Heenan yelling "I told you all these years he was scum!" when Hulk Hogan turned heel.
  12. "Excitment" is relative. The other options being discussed are Josh McCown, Mark Sanchez & EJ Manuel. I was never a fan but he has the most upside by a lot; which admittedly doesn't mean he's worth whatever he may cost.
  13. ITT we name a QB who flopped and force an analogy 'cause it's fun. I'm sure if you're wrong you'll be as eager to bump this one as all the people here who compared Luck to Jamarcus Russell.
  14. Ya the fact that he wouldn't makes me think he wouldn't have always won. Re: price there has to be a point of diminishing returns right? Can't imagine anyone putting up $100 to watch by themselves. Ought to be a lot of SB type parties.
  15. Ya hot goalie to me falls under the luck heading. Otherwise you'd change 'hot' to 'great'.
  16. Aren't the shooting/possession stats just as bad as they ever were though, meaning they're just hitting an unluc...err...lucky stretch?
  17. Ding ding. This is what the old guard can never comprehend for some reason. Any old baseball writer will tell you sabermetrics are idiotic for downplaying RBIs. They always misrepresent the point - things can be a big factor in wins & losses and still not be a skill. The best way to hit with guys on base is to be a good hitter in general and sometimes a hitter lucky/better with guys on base, some years not so much. A little bit like redzone and 3rd downs in football. In basketball it's 3pt defense %. It's pretty funny that my previous unpopular Rueben Amaro bashing is now en vogue here in Philly.
  18. But seriously get the piece of trash and his family out.Thanks for the memories Bowie! Not like you can do a simple Google search in 2015.
  19. Watch Joseph's turnovers. They're not high risk passes or otherwise mistakes that can reasonably be chalked up to "Freshman". He has an astounding lack of fundamental awareness of where to dribble, cut, and how to protect the ball that should be 2nd nature for a D1 PG of any age. And he stinks on defense to boot. So not optimistic there. I do think McCullough can be a beast for us though.
  20. That is one horrific list. I don't think he understands what "overrated" means. AFAIK it means better than popular perception. Wallace is pretty much a national punching bag at this point, thus underrated if anything (horrible fit w/ Tannehill who cannot throw a deep ball) albeit he is way overpaid. Everyone knows Fitzgerald is past his prime. Oher? As a general rule no OLman should ever be on an 'overrated' list unless they're a future HoF'er who is way past their prime.
  21. The injury was the reason he looked shot & done. It shouldn't be mentioned in passing like a footnote - his play fell off a cliff right then. Of course one can reasonably guess that sort of thing is more likely to happen @40..
  22. I wonder how many times this take has been said in the last hour... Not that I'd say anything different if it were another team. Honestly it'd look better if they just did nothing and waited for the ncaa.
